Are You Blue?

With all the rain we've had in the last 24 hours I was feelin' a bit blue...so what to do? Make a treasury of course! Isn't this antique lace amazing? I don't think I could ever remove its tattered blue paper backing though. Hoping to wake up to sunshine tomorrow 'cuz I've got new goodies to photograph. If you've got a minute go peek at the entire "Are You Blue?" treasury.

Are You Blue? by Suzanna Scott

Paper Lace

As many of you know I'm a sucker for old doilies and lace. I recently purchased these remarkably delicate paper doily placemats from Beca Runs. Aren't they just perfect? And the packaging?! Oh my! I've been looking for more of the Milapaco designs but they are seemingly elusive. This box of lovelies is copyrighted November 28, 1942 by the Milwaukee Lace Paper Company. I have grand plans for these but wanted to share them in their original form before I start snipping 'em up.
